Video: Blazers' Damian Lillard dunks on Wizards' Nene

Blazers guard Damian Lillard, the early favorite for Rookie of the Year, is blessed with what they call "sneaky hops." Lillard doesn't have the explosiveness of a Russell Westbrook or the freakish athleticism of an Eric Bledsoe, but he steadily finds a way to create his share of highlights around the rim.

With a little more than two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of a 98-95 loss to the Wizards, Lillard turned the corner on John Wall and directly attacked the paint, rising past Brazilian big man Nene to finish a one-hand stuff. This wasn't quite a full-on poster, but the image of the 6-foot-3 Lillard stuffing on the 6-foot-11 Nene was still impressive.
